Advertise on ebtEDGE

The official EBT app of 16 million households.

ebtEDGE is issued by the state, alongside the card. SNAP and WIC families open it to see what they have before they shop — which makes it the one place every one of them lands.

Why official matters

Not another app to be discovered. The one already in their hand.

Consumer apps have to earn every install. ebtEDGE arrives with the card, from the state, as the way to manage a benefit a family depends on.

No acquisition funnel

Enrollment in the program is the enrollment in the channel. Your reach is the program’s footprint, not a marketing budget’s.

State-sanctioned context

Members trust what they see here because it comes through the official channel. That trust extends to the brands beside it.

Benefit-cycle timing

Deposit day, balance checks, store lookups. The moments are known, so the message can land when the cart is being planned.

Who members are

Heads of household making the grocery decision.

SNAP and WIC households are families first. The person checking a balance is usually the person writing the list, choosing the store, and comparing the shelf.
